Using air restrictors with rotary indexing tables RSE-3 + RSE-4

Rotation Speed
The table speed can be easily adjusted by using the integrated choke / air regulator.
You do not have to buy another component – ​​it is in the scope of delivery and an integrated element of RSE!
Using an additional air regulator can be an essential cause of malfunction!

Locking
Our special principle of construction allows you the use of RSE-3 or RSE-4 with one single 5/2-valve. In theory it also will work with a 3/2 valve. In fact, internal clearance drilling holes do interact between the piston-rack and the locking-bolts.

If turning lightweight work-pieces, a restriction of locking might help preventing the components to jump or leave the table due to the impulse of locking. If looking at the upper link you maybe notice that air restriction on contact B also has influence on the back-stroke!

The back stroke only affects the mass of the piston gear. A restriction on the back-stroke has less influence on the complete cycle, than slow-down the turning of the mass (load and moment of inertia).
A slower locking is also to increase the application lifetime.

It is not recommended slowing down the process of unlocking! It can result in an undesired seizing of the index-bolt.
